Summertime Kids

Wow.  I haven’t posted in a very long time.  I’ll try to get back on track now! Since I posted last, we’ve been staying busy with end-of-the-schoolyear activities and adjusting to our summertime schedule.  Alex finished first grade and is thoroughly enjoying being out of school.  He has a notebook for the summer that he writes [...]

Our Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was busy and so fun! Nothing out of the ordinary, but I wanted to share some pictures of the kiddos. Dad and Alex started off the weekend shooting the airsoft guns that Alex got for his birthday. He looked soooo cute in his safety glasses!  Just look at how the straps poke his [...]

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Weather.com says it will be 84 this afternoon! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, squirrels are playing…it’s gorgeous! It’s spring! I just opened up all the windows and it’s so refreshing! We have a huge family of doves that live in our back yard and they are just chatting [...]

What’s wrong with this picture???

First just let me say that I love this picture. It’s just very, very Elliott. The expression on her face, the new pigtails that she’s sporting (I am loving her pigtails, guys….so fun!) and the fact that what she’s reaching for inside her little skirtall…is a box of raisins. Yep–she had raisins [...]
